So. I'm up against -- nervous because even though he's what was he in 8747. Years old. And has played for awhile you know he's still major leaguer and I am just intimidated. So and -- either really that well I was decorative hitters baseball player but I play baseball it was a third baseman power at the so. He throws it is big sweeping curveball and I miss it by about two feet."

" Same pitch of course it was so awful on the -- to throw it saying it curve ball. I missed it by it maybe a foot this time I'm getting better becomes the third set point oh is gonna throw the -- So he does he throws the curb on kind of waited -- it tragic you know just -- I hit it off the fists. The pop up any Doyle played second base had a running in behind the pitcher's mound to catch it was the weakest. Really allowed to buy up all of you members see you crossed -- that's walking up above and on the last WTO market -- ago. Louis from the same pitch three pitches in a row and I popped to second base -- You're talking you hit it deeper involvement. And your statement. The best that I debate to act the way I looked up there he so competitive -- but you know stumbling. He's right. I am lucky I hit the ball at all and but that's occurred at the -- a quality. Is -- if somebody the guys who was hit. -- the irony was a Tripoli catcher for the Rochester orioles' farm at one point he doubled Optiem drove in Iran and test. Because here's -- hit them. It was like the next lady like expect there was -- woman she's like forty sixers only throw water 02 looks it looks opened its. He's that competitive dude let's go to David netcam hello Dave."

" I don't guys have. I play golf a couple of times we -- one. It's. EE strolled out on the third call one time we -- accommodate all the mile.

With signed autograph pictures and audio suspect in the trunk but just nice enough. You know best wishes days you know and stuff like that -- years she's just. He's he's -- super guy probably wasn't a little ball hockey in the woods with rival on the edge of the -- with applicable called -- I think and I -- as -- the other clowns upon their blogs of my filters them construct. -- EU EU as a lot of great stories about very apple on Italy and stop. Not big stories that you know reveal anything just you know -- talking. In all of those years very very enjoyable Eric."

" Yeah he's the best days -- I think he's one of the true baseball treasures in this town it's a baseball crazy Dave you know. You can't if you watched him pitch -- last seven lays out what oh.

" You know he had ever forget if you sorry I wouldn't say they don't know much about baseball would never had -- the pleasure of seeing him because if you ever saw him he was like no other pitcher on the -- I'm we have guys you know aside Imus and all that stuff and hesitation pitch -- Michael by the Japanese pitchers. But those on like -- he turned his back to the pitcher and then that maybe even having to pick up the ball -- the delivered expected hitter getting -- because he was it."

" Yeah that's really been great that it didn't think -- eating up second base with respect to India a couple it was like a human. Which called world away that's -- it would."

" Top it was a whirling dervish. Big out thank you for the call from big from big bill Erica big gal you know Chris one of the stories to in the movie that people weren't aware of we are you aware that his mom and dad came -- were allowed to come back to this country for the World Series and Fidel Castro was a baseball players -- huge -- Let the -- mother and father mr. -- Louis senior.

And he comes the World Series and we all remember you know they showed him sitting there you know and watch in the game and -- course pits them masterpiece against the reds with his dad watching. But what a lot of people didn't realize was that the ways that Louise T -- parents passed away and that was really yeah -- very riveting it's sad and poignant part of that documentary."

" There's just just. You know you Louis west over the as folks head you know. Just wanted to see him pitch one game -- states and they got to do that in eighteen months later his -- cancer. And death struggle with that to the bitter end and isn't it. You know incredible story or is his it is mom asked you would like to go with you.

Now that's an unbelievable story and after all that time away you know he did thankfully -- that that al-Qaeda with them but you know -- his dad got sick and you know he's been through -- lot of stuff in his life but this this. Film the lost some of Havana. It -- gets our covers everything yeah and in such a way that it's just I think it's remarkably yeah. It's a it's a real close up. Of as you said -- the Louis -- the human being we all know number 23 did amount. And that's really a a nice part of the story because it's that's why all this took place but. You know having to leave your homeland not be -- go back for 46 years and have all those things happen in between it's just remarkable story. And you can see this movie. This coming weekend in in Worcester -- opens Friday night Revere Revere. Shook his work around -- lost sort of event just get there if you can't it's really really worthwhile endeavor it crested. Castro must have been a fan ET I don't."

" Absolutely when I don't wanna give too much away but. The reason -- was -- well his folks were released is there's you know brief are in the US Cuba relations yeah in 75 -- from within this might be good to have you all gonna try to campaign for you folks have to come for day and and through senator Brooke. He Hitler -- Written letter. In game it's senator journal of violent and Goodwill toward. To order a number of things about that and you have McGovern in the film talk -- pretty incredibly that's incredible part of the story and he eventually yes. -- of if if if you he has fidelity you know the unions and in fear they'll ask the father of the son. And nice -- that they'll be down. So he did have a Needham did they ever meet face to face slowly and that Castro -- in -- it. With their resentment and his lap because of the regime. I'm always spot where because Hu's Communist country get out of -- along you know it's practically feel it's time for change but a long time. Yeah and Louise you know political guy in -- that is is it is stated quite a political throwers like glasses always half full little yeah right that's how it goes through life it's it's not a you know it's it's -- called the did the daily struggle yes.
